Absolutely splendid. I love the back to everyday in the end. Lots to chew
upon in this deep piece.

<< Receiving into Church. (For T.B.)
Unsure of ancient patterns of worship I stand at the back,
respectful and glum, the thin whine of words
obliterated by echoes and the ceremonies of stone.
Stations in white marble retell another agony,
a garden of candles in the corner
catch the flame of tears along a widow's cheek.
Object of my respect laid under Christ in Glory.
Of my charity I muse on calculus, the differentials
of disparate lives that brings the two of us here,
me hale and chilled, he reduced by his Gethsemane
to an irregular hexagon of pine and a long night alone.
Frost is predicted.
